Luna Ronnie sighed deeply from the other end. “Ok,” she said, her voice suddenly sounding tired. “What do you need from me,” she said matter-of-factly.
Alex launched into the conversation. “Hi, Mom!”
“Aww my Big Boy Alex!” Luna Ronnie cooed.
“What were Chasity’s parents full names?” Asked Alex, pulling out a pen, poised to write notes.
“They were Chalice and Chase Case,” said Luna Ronnie.
“Chase case?” Alex asked incredulously.
Ronnie actually snickered. “I didn’t name him,” she said snorting with laughter.
Alex chuckled half-heartedly.
“What was Chasity’s Mom’s maiden name?” Asked Alex.
“Smith,” said Luna Ronnie without any hesitation.
“Did either Chase or Chalice have a best friend? Or friends?” Alex asked.
“Yeah, ummm, Chalice was the social one. She liked a lot of attention, that one.” Said Ronnie.
“Remember any of their names,” Alex asked hopefully.
“Deirdre and Didi were her two main girlfriends. They were best friends,” said the Luna.
“Describe them!” Alex said encouragingly, pen at the ready.
“Deirdre was a tall, statuesque girl. She looked like a model. She actually did some modelling. I wonder what became of her…”
“You mean Deirdre Binx?!” Asked Calix incredulously.
“Yes! That was her last name! I remember now! Tall, dark skinned, high cheekbones. You could cut cheese with those cheek bones!” Said the Luna, laughing.
“Mom!” Exclaimed Felix. “Deidre really did become a model, an international supermodel. She’s retired but she’s the real deal!”
Calix googled the name and immediately found millions of images of her along with her summer house in Los Angeles, California. Wow. Her life looked incredibly glamorous.
Alex noted down the name, a few facts and the address listed online.
“Then there was Didi Torte,” said the Luna. “She was a short girl with blonde hair and huge orb-like eyes. She knew everybody’s business. A huge busybody!”
“Do you have phone numbers for either of these people, Mom?” Asked Alex.
“Nope, sorry, Hun,” say the Luna.
“What about Chasity’s father, any close companions?” Alex continued.
“Just one! He was a bit of a loner. My stepbrother. He was shy and sweet,” She said.
Alex did believe that for one second.
“Ok and this one close companion was called?” Alex prompted.
“Dexter! Dexter Sharpe. He was an aspiring news reporter actually. He was a nervous guy with shifty eyes. Tall and thin, walked kinda hunched over with his fingers wiggling all the time.”
“And what places did they hangout at, Mom?” Alex said.
The Luna scoffed. “Anywhere drugs and alcohol could be found. Bars. There was a bar they frequented called The Serpent’s Tongue. There was a club where people would cage fight called A Fork in the Road and there was a casino they liked…”
The Luna stopped abruptly.
“A casino?” Alex said, perking up. This was it. The best of the leads so far. This could be the place they had incurred that huge dept!
“Yeah, umm, it was called The Lucky Toad,” the Luna said.
“A friendly place?” Asked Alex nonchalantly.
The Luna snorted with laughter. “Of course not, the guys there probably eat gravel and drink freshly mixed cement. They were animals! Always getting in fights. The police got called there so many times, they tried to shut the place down but couldn’t because the people that owned it had connections. The police just stopped showing up there even when called after a while.”
Wow. The triplets realised they had their hands full as leads went for the next couple days! Their mother had actually helped them to help Chasity. The triplets were filled with hope at that.
There were going to track down all those leads: the retired supermodel, the busybody and the news reporter and they were going to visit every haunt that was still standing:
The Serpent’s tongue, A Fork in the Road and The Lucky Toad! They were ready to sniff out a cold case to keep their relationship with Chasity smouldering.
